FRIDAY 7 APRIL 1967 97th day - 268 days to come

Called Alice to check on tonight. On. MAVERICK COUNTY came back with just a letter that it was coming back. No reason why. On the box was taped the note from the initial reviewer. She started it-- "This is really terrific - - - ". They say that there should be a decision on FREE FOR ALL in about 2 to 3 weeks.

After work to I-S. Alice & Felicia there. Pearl and Larry Winters came shortly after. We saw and discussed their new game WHAT'S HAPPENING? This is not really a game but rather a party pastime. There is a deck of about cards, on each one is printed a story - such as a man leaves (or woman) leaves a party after drinking. He finds he has locked the car door with the keys inside. He tried to pry open the window when a policeman walks up. He tries to explain but the policeman asks to see his license, and this too is in the car. There should be at least 8 people playing and there is not upper limit. They divide into two teams, which don't have to be equal. One team is dealt 4 cars. They pick the one they like best and then one of the team is chosen to act out the story. The other team is out of the room while this goes on. Then the first one comes in and sees the story acted out. The first than acts it out for the second. The 2nd for the 3rd, Etc. After it is acted thru the entire team, they say what they think they were doing. There is no scoring.

Felicia told me that she might be doing an article on me soon but won't tell me about it until it's more definite.

Took MAVERICK COUNTRY home to check the parts.

Claude called before I got home. Called him later. Talked about Fay mainly. He called Arthur and Wald is back in town. Nothing definite yet with the HIGH DECK.

Thinking about a game theory game I was thinking about in 1965 - called COALITIONS.

Rcd. a letter from Haar Hoolim. Had a new version of 7UP and, for a change, the rules were presented pretty coherently and completely.
